More About Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto who published a whitepaper in 2008 and released it as open-source software in 2009. The system was peer-to-peer; users could transact directly without an intermediary. Transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain.

The ledger uses Bitcoin as its unit of account. The system works without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the U.S. Treasury to categorize Bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency. Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, although prior systems existed. Bitcoin is more correctly described as the first decentralized digital currency. It is the largest of its kind in terms of total market value, you can buy Bitcoin in Canada on Coinsave.
